EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical postcard print titled "The difference between a diplomat and a lady" by the English School from the early 20th century is a humorous take on gender roles and stereotypes of the time. The colourful lithograph depicts a man dressed as a diplomat next to a woman, highlighting the perceived differences between the two.
In this witty illustration, we see the man portrayed as serious and professional in his diplomatic attire, while the woman is depicted in more frivolous and decorative clothing. The contrast between their appearances serves as a commentary on societal expectations of men and women during that era.
The postcard cleverly plays on the idea that diplomats are expected to be rational and logical, while ladies are often associated with beauty and grace. It challenges these traditional notions by presenting them side by side in an amusing manner.
Through its use of humour and satire, this print invites viewers to reflect on how gender roles have evolved over time and encourages us to question outdated stereotypes. It serves as a reminder that individuals should not be defined or limited by societal expectations based on their gender.
Overall, "The difference between a diplomat and a lady" is not only visually striking but also thought-provoking in its exploration of gender dynamics through art.
